what's Zeko Labs?

Zeko Labs develops Zeko, a zero-knowledge cross-chain scaling protocol built as a zk-Rollup Layer 2 ecosystem on the Mina Protocol. It enables high-performance deployment of zkApps (zero-knowledge applications) with succinct proofs, allowing for scalable, privacy-preserving smart contracts without the need for heavy computation on the base layer. The protocol supports instant sequencing, fast transaction confirmations, and seamless settlement on Mina's lightweight blockchain. Key features include the Zeko Bridge, which facilitates transfers between Mina and Zeko's L2, enabling cross-chain interactions while maintaining zero-knowledge privacy. Developers can build zkApps with custom permissions and proofs for applications like stablecoins, RWAs (real-world assets), and AI agents. Zeko emphasizes interoperability and efficiency, reducing costs and latency compared to traditional L1 deployments. Powered by technologies like o1js (Mina's TypeScript library for ZK proofs), Zeko aims to expand the ecosystem for decentralized applications requiring verifiable computation without revealing underlying data.

Zeko Labs started end-to-end audit with zksecurity.
